GLOSSARY
----
Developing the Ledger software uses a number different tools, not all of which will be familiar to all developers.
[**Boost**](http://www.boost.org): a standard set of C++ libraries. Most Boost libraries consist of inline functions and templates in header files.
[**GCC**](http://gcc.gnu.org): GNU Compiler Collection, which includes gcc (the compiler) and gcov (coverage and line based performance) tools.
[**GMP**](https://gmplib.org): Gnu Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library provides arbitrary precision math.
[**Travis CI**](https://travis-ci.org): a hosted continuous integration service that
builds and runs tests each commit posted to GitHub. Each build creates
a [log](https://travis-ci.org/ledger/ledger), updates a [small graphic](https://travis-ci.org/ledger/ledger.png?branch=master) at the top left of
the main project's
[README.md](https://github.com/ledger/ledger/blob/master/README.md), and emails the author of the commit if any tests fail.
